I realize alot of you sold property and moved down here with no mortgages on your backs but, we couldn't do that. We have a mortgage here but, i am talking about the over the top fees for everything. The monthly fee for golf is $150, trail fees, mandatory garbage fees at $55 a month (whether you have garbage picked up or not! If you own property, you pay it!), the internet for $96 a year, progress energy, which is the most $$ utility company i have ever had to deal with...on and on. I am young enough that i am able to work (i am 51) and i have to hold down 3 jobs to keep food on the table here.
Before people buy here, they need to research the fees. If i would have known that this place was so costly, i never would have moved here!
wow!
